Hi Maw,

we're using a pool of identical kamailio load balancers in front of our 
systems, requests are distributed to it by routing means or DNS. If one of 
this system fails or needs to be removed out of the pool (e.g. for 
maintenance) we just move its IP adress to one of the other active or spare 
machines. For more planned maintenance you can of course also use DNS to shift 
load from one machine to another.

Cheers,

Henning
